artificial evolvement for cybernetic capability for humans

nowadays, it is possible to choose the sex of a baby by means of biological 'enhancement,' where-upon dna characterstics of the sperm and egg are still kept intact, but a complex selection criteria are chosen so that eventually a baby's eye colour can be chosen, for example. i could be wrong, but it might even be possible today.

without limiting the capabilities across the spectrum, i suggest creating multiple advanced capabilities by means of re-iteration in the near future.

by creating for example, an eye that can quickly focus in and out or perhaps even dually focus for means of eye-wear with technology that creates a transparent display over the person's eye, along with brain functionality that can manage the day-to-day tasks that may arise in the future that require a constant technology connection in real-time, whilst performing said tasks.

this is only one example, and multiple traits could be imposed in the dna. the reason for keeping the traits common in the spectrum, is so that nobody gets left out if a job becomes obsolete, because there are multiple traits that future generations could handle for other jobs.

also, this would not limit any of the future generations from being stuck in a particular career if they were only born with one particular trait. this also takes away limits and still keeps the human condition of randomnity intact.

considering religious and other implications that many people are against, my question to those people is: do you honestly see it not happening?

      Jul 7 2011: that's thinking too far ahead, perhaps. but if i were to speculate, i would say an eventual outcome could result in such a case for deployment and activity in outer regions, with an extremely minimal casualty rate due to accuracy of technology.

      also, high intelligence of the subjected individuals is crucial. a computer's main flaw is it's user, but with enough training and skill, errors can be compensated.

    Jul 6 2011: When computing should the matrix be of dosile in nature or should there be a blasti infuse for dynamics?Also when cybering should one be aware in transision.Without devation?

      Jul 7 2011: well, this goes into an area of sociology that should be up for debate, for instance, what if children were born into a militarised brain, would this then mean some of the militarised children would defect? possibly.

      militarised brains should be trained, not dynamically approved for every brain, or severe consequences could be held for cases of defectment - ie. the technology could be learnt easily by any one of the units in the spectrum, but without proper guidance, and of course a watchful eye on subjects, defectment could become a real possibility.

      transission will occur, the matter i propose is up for debate on whether or not it is made public. if the units are intelligent enough, perhaps even ask the very people who are subjected to the experience when moderate growth occurs to help guide a prosperous outcome for everyone involved. In other words, yes, cyberisation subjects should be aware, i know i would want to be.

      deviation could well be avoided, but it is important that choice is a factor by the people subjected.

      when it comes to moral psychology, subjected individuals should always have a choice.
